Child Abandonment
The seven-year-old girl who attended school with Nazi symbols sketched on her skin in Winnipeg, and who related to a social worker with Child and Family Services that whites are superior to racial minorities and that blacks don't deserve to live among whites, and that it is perfectly reasonable to kill blacks to ensure they do not live among whites, is a hideous instance of child abandonment. That this vulnerable child has been painstakingly taught to believe in racial superiority is a side issue.
Children are, and always have been, indoctrinated into an ideology, a religion, a state of awareness by their parents. Whether this type of patterning reflects social moral decency or reveals a state of parental sociopathy visited upon their children is another thing. But parents do set out to inflict on their children their own beliefs, for good or for ill. In this instance, a young girl was instructed by her mother to hate minorities - or her mother would withhold her love.
A child removed from the comfort of believing that her mother will always love and support her, for herself as a cherished child, feels exposed and frightened, as the certainty of her state of being is rendered uncertain. The mother, motivated by ingratiating herself to her new husband, the father of her second, younger child, instructs her older child that she must adopt her parent's and her step-parent's grievous pathology of hatred.
There would be no reason for a six-year-old child to counter her mother's instructions, sternly warning her there is no room for compromise; obey or forfeit love and emotional support. "If you have a friend who is not white, I won't be your mom ... I'll say I'm not your mom", the child related to her interlocutor. She and her little brother have been taken into the custody of Child and Family Services who are attempting to achieve guardianship.
Clearly, the well-being of these children has been severely disrupted in a family of white supremacists who insist their freedom of expression extends to blighting their young children's minds and their futures. The parents disavow their child's graphic description to the social worker of how to kill black people. They claim that the child was herself responsible for the neo-Nazi markings painted over her body.
Only the swastika drawn on her daughter was claimed by the mother, as an expression of rejection of the homework assignments given her child. The swastika she drew was inspired by the ancient "sun wheel" symbol, symbolizing, the mother insists, peace. The mother has moved out of the province, and it is the little girl's stepfather, father to the young boy who is claiming his rights to freedom of expression and religion have been in violation of the law.
The little girl's father, who hasn't kept touch for at least three or four years, now regrets his isolation from the child, and claims that the woman who taught the little girl racial hatred is not the woman whom he married and with whom he had a child, and whom, in the end, he entrusted that child to.
Children desperately need to have the elemental comfort and reassurance of being with their parents, held dear and protected, knowing they are valued for themselves.
These children were used by their mother and her second husband as sounding boards for their degenerate moral failings, as living advertisements of the racist misery they sought to impose on their society. Worse, the children were bullied, manipulated and horribly abused, threatened by the loss of their life-support.
They deserve far better than what the circumstance of birth meted out for them.
